13 cool details we noticed in the Legend of Zelda Deku Tree LEGO set

Details in the Zelda Deku Tree LEGO set

Hestu

Shala lala! Yes, everyone’s favorite Korok inventory expander, Hestu, is on the BOTW side of the set. He looks exactly as you’d expect, but we’re pleased to see that his maracas have made the cut.

Corox

It wouldn’t be a BOTW-inspired build without some Koroks, and we spotted three of them in various Lego forms. They seem to range in size from small to… not so small and each has a unique sheet mask to match. We’re sure there will be a few more β€” and that people will have fun recreating their Tears of the Kingdom Korok torture devices out of Lego bricks.

Riddles of Hyrule

Speaking of Koroks, remember the “Riddles of Hyrule” side quest in BOTW? The one that requires you to repeatedly get items for Walton, a curious Korok at the top of the Deku Tree? Look closely at the top of this kit and you’ll spot it there. He even has an answer to his “Small, red, round, cute” riddle with it (spoiler: it’s an apple).

Shining Master Sword

We weren’t surprised to see the main sword pop up here, but we were impressed to see that the blade is an almost translucent blue, similar to its glowing appearance at various points in Breath of the Wild. Glowing power is usually a sign that you are near a dungeon or a Guardian, neither of which appear in Lego form… yet… Looking forward to building the Water Temple out of Lego.

A sword in the stone

Another fun detail on the Master Sword is that it appears to come with its Korok Forest pedestal in the BOTW build β€” you can see it around the 11-second mark. Hopefully you don’t need 13 hearts to pull it off.

A tiny, tiny ocarina

The Ocarina of Time minifigures come with a tiny, tiny Ocarina brick. It might not be the most surprising addition, but it’s very sweet.

Skulltula

Lego Skulltula is hiding in the back of the OOT Deku Tree, guarding a hidden chest. The treasure chest is home to the Slingshot Fairy in adorable Lego form, but we’ll have to wait for the arachnid to spin around before rushing towards it.

Sheika Slate

Princess Zelda minifigure holds her very own shale Sheikah. A cute accessory, yes, but it looks even neater included in the Deku Tree “terminal”.

Triforce Tunic

While we’re on the subject of the Princess Zelda minifigure, check out the details on her tunic! Modeled after her BOTW design, there’s some fancy gold and white lines going on here, and we’re particularly impressed with the little Triforce in the middle.

Deku Sprout

The OOT set comes with not one but two Deku Trees. Roughly. In addition to the titular tree, this build also includes a cute little Deku Sprout. Does this mean the big guy in the background is already dead? We’ll try not to think too much about it…

Gossip Stone

Among the leaves of the OOT set lies the Gossip Stone. It looks like there is a unique face plate brick for the front and you will build the body of the stone with separate bricks for the back.

Cooking pot

We wouldn’t believe it was BOTW Link if he wasn’t cooking some mushrooms. Well, he is! The BOTW build appears to have a cozy cooking station right under the Great Deku Tree.

LEGO Zelda Deku Tree - Navi

We finally have fairies! We’ve often wondered what a Lego Zelda fairy would look like. Well, here is the answer. It looks like Navi (or another random Kokiri fairy) will make up part of the OOT set, represented by a blue spike on a printed translucent circular piece. Maybe not the most elegant solution, but it sure looks good. There is also a normal bottle-ready fairy in the Riddles of Hyrule section. Very good.
